This little sheep’s head and body are crocheted using bobble stitch - a great technique to create this wonderfully fluffy texture. Does take a bit of time to make and uses up a lot of yarn, but the result is absolutely worth it.

Includes one PDF file, 17 pages. Pattern is written in English, using US crochet terminology. I included detailed instructions, many step-by-step photos and useful tips and tricks.
